AUSTIN (KXAN) — Following a recommendation in March from Austin’s Office of Police Oversight, new police cadets will have to attend a course on “The History of Police and Race in America.”
APD said Friday the course will be “immediately included in the training academy,” and that it will also be “rolled out and taught to current officers.” The course, which has recommended curriculum posted online, will be taught by someone outside the police academy. The four-hour course was developed by the OPO and the University of Texas School of Law after Assistant Chief Troy Gay brought forth the idea, according to the recommendation.
